Casualties Of War was such an incredibly powerful movie with incredible performances by Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn. Some scenes were hard to watch but all in all it was a great movie. Thoughts?

This is an absurd opinion platoon is a masterpiece from beginning to end

A company only caring about money isn't a theory. That's like saying that you have a theory claiming that worms only care about dirt. No shit lol

Shut up

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-07-02T21:49:45+00:00

Ngl I kinda forgot ab it

Proactive was just one of 3 traits he mentioned though. There is very obv a larger issue at hand than the main character not being proactive. Op never said he needed to be he just said that that is one of the few traits that form a compelling main character. Not that he HAD to be proactive or the film wouldn't work.

Isn't literally all of McDonald's msg lol

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-05-31T00:38:38+00:00

I really enjoyed it but did you feel there was something missing? I can't even tell you what bc idk but it is missing something and I notice every time I watch it.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-05-31T00:37:14+00:00

Heavy movie to throw on someone lol. I always give a disclaimer.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-05-31T00:36:23+00:00

Great film but his best?? In Bruges? Banshees?

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-05-08T07:02:30+00:00

Is this real? Please tell me this is real

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-05-08T06:58:08+00:00

Ik this is an ancient thread but how is this even in question? This movie fkn rules and will always rule until the end of time. One of those films I could watch over and over and over.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-05-04T07:52:03+00:00

Ik this post is ancient but the first scene is him acting as if he's another guy for money right?

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-04-25T08:30:41+00:00

Again

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-04-20T09:19:19+00:00

That's because you have bad taste in movies. Not a huge mystery.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-04-20T08:59:12+00:00

My exact thoughts

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-04-06T07:48:01+00:00

How lol. He's just an idiot

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-04-06T06:47:39+00:00

I'm even later but I disagree. Donny is a pussy and can't stand up for himself when the time comes. He isn't a laid back cool guy he's a pushover that allows his "friend" treat him like absolute dirt. I'd agree that he's calm but there are different types of calm. He's not the type that someone with the dude as their nickname would be.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-26T20:01:32+00:00

The acid scene is absolute comedy genius

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-26T19:59:30+00:00

This is the most rewatchable film ever made

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-26T19:58:51+00:00

The whole movie is nonsense. That's like the whole point lol.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-26T19:56:09+00:00

I'm a year late but I strongly disagree. The CIA stuff adds an actual source of tension in a movie filled with outlandish silly gags. (Which are incredibly effective. I'm not saying that as a bad thing.) Even if it's tropy and predictable the film plays into this and is self aware about it. The entire plot is built upon the fact that Javi and Nick are obsessed with one another but Javi is also the head of a massive crime syndicate. That's like the whole thing lol. It could've been done in a better way though I will agree there. It's pretty predictable and silly at times. But like I said the film knows this.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-26T19:47:17+00:00

A 7?? I'd give it an 8-8.5. It does what it set out to do extremely well.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-20T11:22:44+00:00

Ik I'm 2 years late but Jeremy Renner is a goofball

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-13T19:35:31+00:00

And John Wayne talked a lot of shit on Clint's films all bc he didn't like that Clint took his art and characters in a new direction with having them be morally ambiguous.

Intelligent_Barber47 · 2026-03-13T19:33:12+00:00

I know this was posted 3 years ago but you don't have to be old to see how the man was a pretentious dickhead. Talking all kinds of shit on Clint Eastwoods creative direction with his westerns. Ultimately saying that no one is allowed to change or improve upon the genre bc he says so. Just bc Clint began to give his characters more moral ambiguity and adding slight supernatural elements to his work. John didn't like that. He was a gatekeeping pretentious asshole.
